Blackstone Original 28” Griddle with Hood
The Blackstone 28in griddle is a medium-sized griddle that works great for family gatherings and small events in the UK.
It has a big 470-square-inch cooking surface and two separate burners, so you can cook different dishes at the same time at different temperatures to please everyone.
The following are a few other notable features of this new griddle with hood:
- Hot rolled steel griddle top: This is not like other griddles with cold rolled steel surfaces, such as the Camp Chef flat top grill.
- 4 accessory hooks
- High-capacity front grease tray
- Hard cover included
- Even griddle heating
Review
One of the best things about cooking on the griddle is how the surface heats up. The heat spreads evenly across the 28″ surface, and when you turn the knobs to low, the griddle temperature actually gets cooler.
A few tests can be conducted with the 28-inch griddle, and it will perform flawlessly:
- First experiment
If you pre-heat the griddle on the low setting for around 25 minutes, you will be happy to see that the surface temperature is only about 325 degrees.
With any other griddle you have had, the temperature would be much higher, in the mid to high 400 degrees, after heating on low for the same amount of time.
- Second experiment
Once you have cooked bacon and sausage on the griddle at a higher temperature, you can try out the knobs by turning one burner to low.
In less than 10 minutes, the temperature will drop by about 100 degrees on that side of the griddle. That is really very promising.
Easy to assemble
Putting the Blackstone 28″ griddle unit together is easy, and you will appreciate that the screws, nuts, and washers are clearly labelled in separate bags that match each step. It will be a lot of fun to put together!
Assembling the whole thing might only take around 1 hour and 20 minutes, and you can do most of the work yourself. That is not too bad compared to some other grills you may have put together earlier.
Front grease trap
Preference for the grease trap to be in the front of the griddle, closest to you, is common. This is because commercial griddles typically have the grease trap in the front, allowing for easier “pulling” of the grease towards you. This is much simpler than using a bench scraper to push it away towards the back.
If you are really impressed with its review, then you can either visit BBQs 2u showroom and buy or place an order online.
